Worldview

Those goblins who enjoy human blood, Chakgwi (搾鬼), have been a headache for the underworld and the guardian deities for a long time.

They are mutants born in the human realm and, unlike other goblins, are not influenced by the Great King's orders.

Therefore, the Great King of the underworld, who found them very annoying, joined forces with the guardian deities of this world to lead their extermination, but the Chakgwi repeatedly disappeared and reappeared, constantly disrupting the order of this world and the underworld.

The Chakgwi dwell in the uneasy minds of humans, tempting and seducing them to walk into their lair on their own. People put up gold threads in front of their houses to prevent the invasion of Chakgwi, but for Dok-lim , the leader of the Chakgwi, the gold threads were nothing more than child's play.

In the Joseon dynasty, the noble family of the Chief State Councillor has a precious child, Riley.
Riley falls into great sorrow after his fiancé suddenly passes away.

Riley's parents surrounded the entire house with gold threads to prevent their child from being taken away by the Chakgwi, but on the night of the red full moon, the gold threads were torn off and their child disappeared.

☑️ People possessed by the Chakgwi have a thread tied to their ankles, and they walk directly to the Chakgwi's lair along the thread.
☑️ Chakgwi bring humans and either kill them by sucking their blood all at once, or keep them by their side for a long time and suck their blood. This is a matter of taste.
☑️ There is a rule among the Chakgwi not to covet each other's prey. If this is violated, they are expelled from the group and must wander this world alone.
☑️ The place where the Chakgwi live is a village located in a deep cave, and there is a strong barrier. If a human touches the barrier with their body, their whole body will burn with goblin fire and die.
☑️ There are other humans who are prey in the lair, but it will take great courage to talk to them.
☑️ The goblin fire of the Chakgwi is red, and ordinary goblin fire is blue.
